 * Is this really a good idea? Should not the japanese version be put in
 * /usr/ports/japanese, and the original version be normally maintained?

First, it is not a Japanese version, it's a multibyte extension that
makes it work on all languages that X supports.  (Or at least most --
I'm not sure about KOI8-R. :)

 * This way I would need to install it without using the ports scheme,
 * but that is a pity.

I have no problem if someone wants to keep the English version up to
date.  It's marked BROKEN because it is old, and I don't see any
reason why I would want to accidentally build a package (and ship an
extra distfile along the way) when there is a newer version with more
complete list of supported languages.
